i need help explaining how i got this wrong. Anyone?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it is given, \(VW \cong VW\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since sides are congruent, angles opposite to them will also be congruent \(m \angle W \cong m\angle U\) set them equal and solve x first

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(8x-1 = 5x+23\) solve x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk how you just did that @.@ ...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lay back, relax and look at ur diagram

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, plug that value in \(m \angle W \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(m \angle W = 5x+23 \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean 5x+23 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5(8)+23=40+23=63

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

63 was my answe? o:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woo! thx (:

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
